Songwriter Father John Misty posts his 'rejected Pandora promos'

Father John Misty, one of the snarkier singer-songwriters out there, may not actually be hosting an online radio station, but that hasn't stopped him from saying so.

Recording a series of bumps called Rejected Pandora Promos on his SoundCloud, he pushes his "new Pandora mixtape" and smoothly introduces himself as follows: "My name is Father John Misty, and most nights I wake up in a cold sweat on a moving bus, convinced I’m DEAD!"

It's not clear whether these are really rejected promos or just parody posts, and Pandora hasn't supported these in any official way. But the references to skin suits and hiding from his parents suggest the music streaming service probably didn't authorize anything.

Listen to his bumps here:

With backing bass and trumpet melodies, he assures listeners that his new Pandora mixtape helps him "retain some semblance of an emotional existence" as he sells himself piece by wretched piece, one t-shirt at a time. He also guarantees that it's "100% Ed Sheeran."

As of yet, no 100% Ed Sheeran mixtape by Father John Misty has been found. Not that anyone's really expecting to find it.
